  • Another time team win

    Absolutely brilliant! As always Helen Geake is superb, I’m really glad she was picked to head up the podcast. I’m not so sure about Martin, maybe he will grow on me but his contributions are sometimes distracting. Thank you Time Team for continuing to produce superb content.

  • Might have been 5 stars

    Dr Helen Geake is so knowledgable, sensitive, and an excellent communictor. Could Martyn be asked to stop butting in, and to stop trying to amuse? I found his 'joke' about his bird watching friend to be irritating and inappropriate.

    I loved the tv show and enjoyed the podcast up to a point, but the last episode just seemed to be a series of previews for their Patreon offerings and lacked any depth

    This podcast scratches your archaeological itch. Helen and Martyn make a great team! Interspersed with a variety of guests, this podcast is interesting and fun to listen each week. Upcoming Dani’s news section will add additional content. While it is still evolving, they make an effort to include archaeology from all over the world (not just the UK).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Could an Egyptian mummy be hiding in a field?
Q: How can you check your local area for Viking burial mounds or similar features?
Use local maps, historic OS first edition maps available online, and search Historic Environment Records through Heritage Gateway to identify known sites and plan a visit or research approach.
Could an Egyptian mummy be hiding in a field?
Q: Has anything like amulets or beads survived the process if mummies were used as fertilizer, and could remnants still be in British fields?
The speakers remain skeptical of the fertilizer theory, noting that while mummies were collected and exported, there is little evidence that they're ground into fertilizer; instead, the historical record points to collecting for curiosity and display rather than industry.
Could an Egyptian mummy be hiding in a field?
Q: I have a very basic question. What exactly are the ditches?
Ditches are linear features that archaeologists tolerate as they often survive well, act as boundaries or drainage, and can be a magnet for finds, making them essential for understanding past landscapes and activity.
What nobody knows about hill forts
Q: Where did hillfort inhabitants source their water, given their elevations and distances from rivers?
The discussion emphasizes that water sources could include rainwater collection, springs, or other local sources, and that every hillfort requires individual assessment to understand its water supply within its landscape.
Amazing Stonehenge discovery
Q: How much do you think Balford changes our understanding of Stonehenge?
It provides an additional reference point in time showing a clear interest in the solstices within the landscape, suggesting that early post-and-sightline concepts contributed to monumental stone layouts later seen at Stonehenge.
